That was roughly double August's $44m and close to the $102m recorded in March, when investors were exiting private credit positions more aggressively.The number of shares sold short also climbed sharply, reaching 6.4 million by mid-September from 2.9 million at the end of August. March saw around seven million shares sold short.Short interest as a proportion of assets under management across the ETF sample stood at 2.8% at the end of last year before reaching a record 3.4% in March. It subsequently eased to 2.1% in August as traders reduced bearish positions, but had recovered to 2.7% by mid-September.The growing appetite for downside exposure is being supported by major banks, with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Bank of America among those offering clients ways to take bullish or bearish positions on private credit through baskets of publicly traded companies.Those baskets include alternative asset managers, BDCs and financial institutions with private credit operations.
